2021 Estate Rose

THE WINE

Produced from our premium estate grown MV6 Pinot Noir. Pinot on the nose, candied strawberry fruit with a touch of white peach, and rose water. A textural palate of strawberries and cream, complex oak spices and a dry refreshing finish.

THE VINTAGE

One of the best, close to perfect vintages in the last 10 years. January was warm with good rainfall setting up the vines with an ideal amount of soil moisture. This was followed by a month of cool and dry conditions, perfect for slow and steady fruit ripening. The cooler conditions and even ripening resulted in producing fine elegant wines.

VITICULTURE + WINEMAKING

100% Pinot Noir, sourced from our lower lying ‘G’ Block. Fruit is grown harvested slightly earlier then our Pinot Noir wines to ensure fruit brightness and fresh acidity. The freshly harvested fruit was held cold for 3 hours to allow extraction of colour for the wines’ pink hue.  Clarified juice went to oak for natural fermentation.  Time on lees in oak to build mid palate.
